GHOST STORIES [Movie Review]: Fishy, Chippy Horror.

The anthology film Ghost Stories --- released this past weekend to a few select theaters --- is a cleverly creepily, and particularly British bit of horror and fun. Writing/directing team Jeremy Dyson, and Andy Nyman adapted their stage play into a deliberately paced tale that makes use of its claustrophobic staging, while managing to take …

AVENGERS – INFINITY WAR [Review]: The Stone Collector.

Ten years ago Marvel Studios embarked on an unprecedented journey to bring together movies of separate, standalone characters together into one interconnected cinematic universe.

WONDERCON 2018 [Anime Movie Review]: Batman Ninja.

"MONSIGNOR" TRAVIS MOODY: The one thing that immediately stuck out to me about our Saturday morning screening from WonderCon's "Arena", Jenn, was the gorgeous animation. DC's animated films have always been very good, if not excellent, and always a superb sight for sore eyes. In the visuals department, Batman Ninja may top them all. While there's …
